CP NewsAlert: B.C. RCMP member fired with immediate effect over vulgar group chats

By Canadian Press on January 13, 2026.

A British Columbia RCMP officer has been fired with immediate effect over vulgar and sexist comments made in police group chats and over police mobile computer terminals.

RCMP conduct adjudicator Louise Morel says Coquitlam Const. Mersad Mesbah’s conduct amounted to discreditable conduct, and he “put aside” his oath as a police officer.

More coming.
